Did your watch stop? The hidden danger of a broken glass and how to fix it
May 25, 2026
Did you know that a simple tap on your watch crystal can destroy its internal mechanism? Today on "Learning at Cánovas Jewelry," we'll show you a real-life case of technical service in our Barcelona workshop.
We received an elegant women's watch from the Geneva brand with its crystal completely shattered.
The real risk in these cases isn't just aesthetic: microparticles and shards of broken glass can immediately seep into the delicate quartz movement, jamming the gears or scratching the dial. Our step-by-step, handcrafted restoration process: Safe disassembly: We remove the stem and crown and protect the movement in a watertight container. Thorough cleaning: We meticulously remove any glass residue from inside the case. High-precision measurement: We use professional calipers to determine the exact thickness and diameter of the original crystal. Fitting and sealing: We install a new, high-strength crystal, ensuring the second hand moves perfectly again, cleanly and accurately. Don't let time stop. If your favorite watch has suffered an accident, protect it before it's too late. Visit us today at our specialized workshop! Find us at Calle de la Maquinista, 16 - 08003, in the heart of Barcelona. Bring your part in and we'll give it back the life it deserves. Watch the full repair video here.Other related articles
